Thanksgiving is a special holiday to express gratitude, reconnect, and share wonderful memories together. It’s the opportunity for spending time with family, families, and friends. Of course, each family has their own way of celebrating thanksgiving, particularly through their distinctive cultures and traditional feasts.
How Was Our Day? & What Did We Do for Thanksgiving?
Well, our day went like this. We all woke up and said good morning greetings to one another as usual, followed by our daily morning routine. My father was required to work, but lucky enough his boss allowed him to leave two hours early. My brothers and I had the day off from work and school, especially my younger sisters. My bros and I took our furry companion for a stroll in our local nearby park about 6-8 minutes from our home. We had a great early morning, taking our dog for a stroll in the park and running, which is something we rarely do together. Therefore, my sisters were aiding my mother in preparing for the afternoon holiday feast. Though, I’ll love to continue, but here was a bit of an overview on our morning.
This Thanksgiving, we are celebrating alongside our aunt, uncle, and younger cousin. And we’re looking forward to spending time with them!
My family is from Mexico, and my mother, sisters and aunt prepared a variety of delicious traditional Mexican dishes. For instance, pozole, roast pork (with added potatoes, carrots, some add in juices for flavor) types of salsas, tortilla chips, tostadas, mexican rice, to name a few. For desserts, we had homemade chocolate brownies, caramel flan, and Mexican rice pudding with cinnamon. Our furry pals also had tasty meals too!
We enjoyed a wonderful night of sharing memories, expressing gratitude to one another, playing board games, and listening to music in the background while communicating and sharing moments of laughter and happiness!
Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving!
